Abstract
Scientific research papers are only one of many different kinds of documents that scientists write. The interrelated documents form a chain or network that can precede, accompany and follow the research paper. Some documents are public, such as the research paper or the conference presentation. Other documents are occluded, in that they are seen by few people, such as grant applications or manuscript referee comments. By recognizing the genre chain, a scientist can plan the content, audience and timeline of the various texts that are related to a scientific investigation.
